That's why mine's a 187 - no supercap.

I don't need the 189's internal data logging function, so... bigger numbers aren't always better. :-//

H.O:
I've got an original 87, a small 101, a 233 with the remote display, a 175 and then the 189.
The 189 is, by far, the one I use the most, it is just rock solid.

I've must've missed the supercap issue, does it leak and eat the PCB? Should I replace it before it's too late?

2N3055:
Well problems or not (I assume they could be fixed now they know about it), it is general fact that 187/189 is considered by many as "best" meter they made.

If they want to make something "new" they shouldn't design anything new, or even have to make stupid market research.

Simply bring back 187/189. Full specification is there. Just make technology refresh. Keep LCD display. No OLED crap.

If I could buy brand new 189 today, I would. But, not if it will  be 1500 USD. Price of 87V today is also cretinously high.

Yes.

It can also drain the battery like crazy even if it doesn't leak.

If you don't need it then just remove it. All you lose is the data logging and the time of day.

Big corporation and government contract pricing.  :)

They simply aren't worth it if you can get hold of a Brymen.

Even the famous warranty doesn't mean much when you can buy three Brymens for the price of one Fluke.
